Mathmech Deck #771798 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Combo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon and Xyz Summon Cyberse boards (Code Talker / Accesscode / Transcode / Decode Talker links, Primathmech Alembertian and Laplacian) for 2300-ATK link pressure (Inferred from card text).; Going-second disruption: hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) stall the opponent's combo, then Cyberse links close (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Cynet Mining / Small World / Backup @Ignister, Normal Summon a Level 4 or lower Cyberse, then build a Link into Accesscode or Transcode Talker. Missing core cards (Accesscode, Transcode, Wicckid) lower the odds of this line (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll) to answer the opponent's first combo activation, then Normal Summon a Cyberse starter to rebuild (Inferred).
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects and the Ghost hand traps recycle cards from the GY and hand. The Link engine is redundant enough to restart after one interruption (Inferred).
• After siding: Not assessable: the Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan (Verified from evidence).

Why it scores here

The score is driven by the list as a system, not by an average of its card scores. Its consistency comes from 15 searcher-text cards (P of at least one in a 5-card opening hand about 0.81) and a Cyberse base that lets several starters feed each other. Interaction is the strongest area: 12 hand traps and 20 removal-text cards give a 6-card going-second hand a likely answer (about 0.79). The weak points are the lack of recorded boards (no combos, no guides, no tournament data) and an empty Side Deck, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured and are inferred from text only. Archetype popularity did not earn points: exact Mathmech purity is only 8.6%, and the Mathmech, Code Talker, Mulcharmy, @Ignister and Firewall pieces are spread across sub-archetypes. The deck is Illegal (3 copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of 2), so the Final Contextual score is capped at 20 and the structural read is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; the 80/20 Structural/Tournament split is used because Meta is provisional. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (over copy limit) (-8); Illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 51, then the Illegal cap applies (theoretical/structural only) and the final score is set to 20. Modifiers total -8 and are included in the capped result.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and removal-text package gives a likely answer to a going-second combo (about 0.79 in hand 6).
• Searcher density (15 cards) gives about 0.81 odds of a starter in a 5-card opening hand.
• Extra Deck carries high-ATK link and Xyz finishers, including Primathmech Alembertian and Laplacian.

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: 3 Ash Blossom against a limit of 2.
• Low archetype purity (8.6%) spreads resources across Code Talker, Mulcharmy, @Ignister, Firewall and Salamangreat.
• Empty Side Deck removes any post-side plan.
• Core Link pieces (Accesscode Talker, Transcode Talker) are absent from the list.

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on Cyberse searchers (Cynet Mining, Small World, Backup @Ignister); a hand without one of them has no clear first Link.
• Ash Blossom's over-limit copy count makes the list illegal as built.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15).; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited) makes the deck Illegal.; Mathmech Circular and Droll & Lock Bird run 1 copy each at their Limited limit of 1.; Exact archetype purity is 8.6% (6 of 70 Mathmech-tagged or main copies).
• Observed: No recorded boards, so no measured combo frequencies exist (total_combos 0).
• Inferred: Opening-hand odds: searcher group 0.81, archetype core 0.69, hand-trap group in going-second hand 0.79.; Interaction density is high based on 12 hand traps and 20 removal-text cards.; Midrange primary with Toolbox and Combo secondaries, based on hand-trap density and Link engine text.; Structural 52, Tournament reliability 45, and going-first/second splits are derived from text and probability only.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link.; Matchup and format-fit (D13) score 50 without archetype share data.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates. Empty Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be assessed. No guides attached (total_guides 0). Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Deck title is null in the export.
